Games Workshop: From the towering heights of the far future to its deepest depths – Necromunda is continuing to go from strength to strength, with upgrades, models and and another installment of gaming toolbox Gang War, all designed to add yet more diversity to your campaigns in the underhive. We love the new Bounty Hunters, while there’s something strangely adorable about the Sumpkroc – although we wouldn’t recommend petting one.

While you’ll have to wait a little longer before the models are revealed, Warhammer Fest also saw the Cawdor gang previewed with some exclusive new art. Just like the gangs of the Houses Goliath, Escher, Orlock and Van Saar, the Cawdor have been reimagined more richly than ever before – and the results are, it’s safe to say, pretty cool!

For those of you new to Necromunda, the Cawdor are a particularly fascinating gang. While other gangs are makers, builders, miners and producers, the Cawdor live at the other end of the system – waste disposal. In Necromunda, one man’s trash is another man’s deadly improvised weapon, and so the Cawdor have risen to a place of considerable prominence and power. They’re also one of Necromunda’s most numerous factions, drawing thousands to their cause through fanatical, unwavering faith in the Emperor. We’re looking forward to checking these guys out in full later down the line…
